The Strategist Dalek was a blue, specialised Dalek of the New Dalek Paradigm. The first one was created by the Progenitor in 1941. It was created with the purpose of acting as a battle planner for Dalek troops.

The Strategist Dalek appears to have a colour scheme reversed to the original footsoldier Daleks from 1963-1967. Those had silver bodies with blue orbs while the Strategist has a blue body and silver orbs.

The model for this Dalek was used to create the Stone Dalek in The Big Bang, but was restored to normal according to an interview.
